Go See Pacific Rim

I saw Pacific Rim, and I fucking loved it. Domestically it didn't do as
well as I hoped it would, but it still did well. Plus, the reviews are
all fairly good too! It's currently clocking in at 71% on Rotten
Tomatoes. It's exciting for me to work on something that people are
having fun seeing. I think most the people I know would totally dig it.

More
than that, you can see it as a family. I think ten and above would be
fine with it, but to be safe, maybe twelve and above. It features a
strong female lead that isn't just eye candy, and doesn't need to fall
in love with the boy to define her character. I really like all the
characters, and I love the message of unity, and coming together.

It's
a great film for that age set; kids and adults who aren't afraid to be a
kid. It feels like it's made for that group, the adventure film goers.
The Star Wars and Indy lovers. Instead of taking a comic book character
and turning them into something strictly for adults, coming up with a
dark and serious tone, while still selling toys to young kids; it feels
like a film that caters to child like wonderment. Don't get me wrong, I
love a lot of those films, but I'm taking my daughter to Pac Rim, but
won't let her watch The Dark Knight any time soon.

Here are two
pieces I did for the film. They're both in the artbook. One is all me,
and the one with the bones is based on a Oscar Chichoni sketch.

Anyway, go and see it. It's not going to be the same on your TV. Honestly.
